VB.Net (in ASP.Net) won't create instance of Excel

[Mark]

I was able to get procedure to work in a VB.Net Windows application, and want
to get it to work within a ASP.Net page. It won't create the instance of
Excel. It blows up on the CreateObject class.

What am I missing?

Code, Error and Stack info are as follows:

Code:
Dim xlApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") '**** Blows-up here *****

Error Exception Details:
System.Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component.

Stack Trace:
[Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component.]
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject(Str ing ProgId, String
ServerName)
ReserveDB.WebForm1.btCreateDB_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ReserveDB\WebForm1.aspx.vb:40
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e)

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPo stBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)
System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEve ntHandler
sourceControl, String eventArgument)
System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCol lection postData)
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain()
Thanks, Mark
